*** most likely they had nothing to charge him with after all he (1) targeted tourists, (2) used exact wording in his deals “you asked me for help to grow back your hair you never told me how much!”, (3) charged his targets way lower than what most scammers even back then would’ve charged for his services, and (4) generally kept his antics on the low key to avoid attracting unwanted attention. The only reason he went big this time was that his debts to his “Friends” coming due and even then he did it in a way that even if stuff hit the fan he had a means to weasel his way out of trouble as it would technically be his word vs a greedy tourist/identity thief and as there’s no actual physical proof that he assisted in the scheme everyone would just assume Lawrence is just blaming Facilier because of his race instead of accepting responsibility for his actions.

*** Hayacall isn't a word; it's shorthand for "How you call", sort of a Cajun equivalent to "whatchamacallit". He was basically calling it a [[IncrediblyLamePun voodoohickey.]]

* Why didn’t Charlotte turn into a frog when she kissed Naveen as a frog if she wasn’t a princess anymore (she kissed him after the clock struck midnight)? TIANA turned into a frog after kissing him, she why didn’t Charlotte?

Big Daddy clearly tells the guys arresting Lawrence to take him to the parish prison, not an insane asylum.


** It's also possible he wasn't being ''arrested'', he was being ''committed'' to a lunatic asylum.

** Just getting in touch with Naveen’s parents for help would be difficult and potentially very dangerous for a pair of frogs. Naveen would have to go in person to explain everything, which would require finding a boat to take them to Maldonia, surviving the trip, and then explaining everything to his parents without being turned out or squashed on the spot.

Big Daddy implies that it’s a given for him to be voted king of the Mardi Gras parade every year, since it’s happened for the last five in a row. It’s possible that Tiana and Naveen had just decided to wait for Charlotte to become a princess again next year.

** Even leaving aside the real-world belief systems playing in, why would the Friends allow Facilier to cast on himself if he'd already proven himself reticent to actually shoulder the consequences of his actions? Seems like an excellent way to give someone what they need to screw you over.

** Tiana has always valued working over social interaction, and even if she was savvy enough to realize the rammifications of Naveen's kiss and didn't rationalize it as them getting caught up in the moment, Naveen admits to her later that he's never taken a relationship seriously before he met her. In her mind, the kiss might've symbolized a sense of attraction to her, but that alone isn't enough to say that it's real, genuine love.

** They probably assumed that it had to be a princess by birth, by blood, not by marriage. Lottie qualified because she's the biological daughter of a King, albeit a superficial one and only temporarily.

*** Keywords being of - for all we know, he could be eligible, but he wouldn't have taken the chance (and given the responsibility to his brother). Tiana actually could have been made the "Queen consort" - in other words, just the king's wife; not really any power over the state of Maldonia.

** Clay. Depending on quality and how properly you bake it it can be notoriously brittle. It's also very popular for making effigies and talismans in various folk traditions due to abundance and ease of working with.

*** The old sugar mill had been sitting vacant for years, even before Tiana's daddy died, earning the Fenner brothers nothing and probably costing them tax money every year. They finally agreed to let Tiana buy the place with a downpayment and paying off the balance over time, giving them a steady income and making the taxes Tiana's problem. They ''had'' a verbal contract with her. When they reniged on that contract, ''they'' were the ones in the wrong. Using a little intimidation to get them to honor the deal they had agreed to was quicker and cheaper than taking them to court. (Plus this ''is'' deep in the South so Tiana's chances of a fair verdict wouldn't be great, but that doesn't change the fact that legally, Tiana is in the right here.)

** Given the difficulty of finding Mama Odie in the first place, followed by the dangers within the bayou, such as unfriendly alligators, it's possible that even if they knew, it would be impossible for any human character to attend Naveen and Tiana's swamp wedding.

** According to the Character page, he's an [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_hognose_snake Eastern hognose snake]]. Eastern hognoses are technically venomous, but they're not classified as such because their venom doesn't really affect humans.

[[folder:What species of snake is Juju?]]
* He appears to be a constrictor such as a boa or a python. Yet he has vertical slitted pupils, which indicate a venomous species. Constrictors are not venomous, and they have round pupils.
